Silica

SILICA provides a comprehensive range of semiconductor products from 27 leading manufacturers, together with in-depth design support and extensive customer service. As an Avnet Company, our linecard is provided with the cost breaks and world-class logistics of a global distributor. This combination of local expertise and global foundations allows SILICA to deliver cutting-edge semiconductor technology with true bottom-line value.

ArchiTech is the new brand for the range of design tools SILICA has developed. With ArchiTech, the distributor offers front line support to engineers to help them bring new designs to market on time and in the most efficient possible way. ArchiTech brings together superior development tools, engineering and software expertise, in-depth training and extensive documentation.

SILICA provides ongoing support for its ArchiTech Linux distribution through its team of in-house software developers, dedicated to the ArchiTech strategy. SILICA thereby combines the advantages of manufacturer-supported software at the centre of a small and focused open-source community as a subset of the wider, general Linux community.

The local teams of application engineers and technology specialists understand that the products SILICA provides are pivotal to the customers’ success. Their in-depth design support is there to provide shorter time-to-market cycles and genuine competitive advantage.
